Authors Note:
Ok, my second fic! This one has
nothing to do with the last. The
beginning doesn't really seem like its anything special but later on things get
interesting! I had no idea on how to
start this one off but I watched Gundam Wing Endless Waltz and was
inspired!! Enjoy!
Stuck in this Moment
-By Fire*Angel
The fog was heavy and non-welcoming as it hovered above the ground
and twisted its way through thorn bushes and dead little trees, as it made its
way over swamps and up the tallest mountain beyond the land of the lifeless
souls that roamed around the black castle where two beings were discussing
revenge over the one responsible for a cretin death. A young girl and her father were sitting at a large table. The candle lit room was silent only for a
moment as the girl stood up and walled over to the window.
"You see that father?
That is our revenge on the one responsible for mother's death." Her father stood up as well and walked over
to where his daughter stood.
"You are a geniuses Christina. This will surly even the score with that Nea girl." Christina smiled and looked at her
father.
"Yes, it was good that we came to this planet. It's full of the lost souls that are
confused beyond fixing. They are just
lost and looking for a new home. So I
though, why not gather all the souls and make them into one evil being. One that will obey every command I give it. One that will turn every thing it touches
into a slave that will work for me. Once it is completed we will go to the
planet Nea and finish the work that you started 12 years ago." Christina's father grinned.
"The day that we kill Princes Lauren, the Princes of Light
and Hope will be the best day of our lives!"
Christina and her father laughed at the thought of Princes Lauren the
air to the throne on the planet Nea being destroyed.
Meanwhile on the planet Earth, a thirteen-year-old girl sat
by her window and thought about when she would be returning to her home
planet. She sat motionless with her
knees to her chest with her arms clasped around them. She jumped as she heard a bang on the wall and a shatter of
broken glass. She ran out of her room and
into her sister's.
"Clair!! What
happened??" Lauren looked at the glass
spread over the floor. Clair looked at
Lauren and picked up her soccer ball.
"Sorry sis, I was just practicing my goal winning kick! I just can't wait until the game tonight,
I'm so happy! The championships
Lauren! This is it!" Lauren smiled and bent down to pick up the
glass from a vase that the ball it after bouncing off the wall. Clair bent down to help as well.
"Clair, I'm glad you
have made it this far in sports, you're so lucky, I don't have anything to do
but worry about the day the I'm pronounced 'Queen Lauren, the Queen of Light
and Hope'. Clair and Lauren stood up
and through the glass in the garbage.
"Lauren right when they say that, that's when everyone will want
to be you! You're the luckiest Lauren,
you may not see it but soon you will.
Oh and do you have a date tonight for the game?" Lauren almost gagged.
"What?? Why would I
need a date for you soccer game?"
"Because, you haven't been out in months and I can tell that
the reason you have been so down lately is because it's been so long since you
have out, since you've kissed a guy!
C'mon Lauren, you're so pretty, you can have any guy you want and you
know that! So go out to the mall and do
that thing that makes all us girls want to be you! Now go!" Lauren hugged
her sister and went to get her purse.
She walked to the hall of her mansion and went to the front door. Just when she was about to open it, the
person she hated the most stopped her.
"And where do you think you're going?" Lauren turned around to face the one that
unfortunately looked after her and her big family.
"I'm going to the mall and will be back in an hour. Goodbye."
Without waiting for an answer Lauren shut the door and ran down the long
path that led to the large gates leading to the street. She called to the guard to open the
gate. He nodded and did as she told. As she was now off her property she slowed
down to a walk. 'Boy, I hate that lady
and they way she treats my family and I.
She's only looking after us because of the money we have'. Lauren thought to herself as she
walked.
"Boy dad, mom is sure going to love this new sound
system! It's at the top of the line and
we got it for free!" Goku looked at his
son and smiled.
"Well Gohan, you showed that robber not to mess with people
you're age and you saved the hole store and the people inside. It was the least the store manager could
do."
"You're right dad, but that's why we're here! To help!"
Goku and Gohan were walking to their car when *BAM*, someone
bumped into Gohan. Gohan was started
since he couldn't see where he was going with the big box he was carrying but
relieved that he didn't drop it.
However he did knock the person involved down. He quickly put he box down and looked at figure on the
sidewalk. Gohan blushed at the site of
the beautiful girl before him. She
looked up and into his eyes. It was
like an eternity since they came back to earth and realized what happened. Gohan got to his knees and helped the girl
up.
"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to I was…" He was cut off by
most sweetest and prettiest voice he had ever heard.
"No, I'm sorry. It
was my fault. I ran into, you…"She
stopped talking as Gohan ripped a piece of his shirt off and tied it around her
arm. The girl was so taken by Gohan's
strong figure and the way he blushed whenever she looked at him to notice that
she had scraped her arm.
"Uh no, you don't have to do that I'm fine really…"She was
once again stopped by Gohan's hand movement to be silent. She watched him tie the cloth ever so gently
and carefully around her arm as if it was the last thing he was going to do.
"There. That should
help."
"Thank you, I'm uh…"The girl stopped. She didn't know what say. "I'm sorry to
trouble you like this, I should have been more careful. Uh, by the way my name is Lauren." She placed her hand out for Gohan to shake
it.
"I'm Gohan, nice to meet, you…"His voice drifted away as he
took Lauren's hand and shook it. There
was something strange about her. He
could feel a strong energy he had never felt before coming form her.
"Wow Gohan, you have a strong and firm grip. Do you work out or something? You look really strong." Gohan blushed again and nodded.
"Uh, thanks!" Lauren looked at him as if she were studying
him like he was a show dog. She looked
at him closer and closer and then stood back.
"I uh, better let you go.
It was nice meeting you Gohan."
"Nice meeting you to Lauren." And then they looked at each other and walked in different
directions. As Lauren walked away from
Gohan she looked back at him only to notice that he was looking back on
her. She smiled and waved. Gohan watched her disappear in the crowd of
all the other people and noticed that he had forgot the sound system at the
please where he and Lauren met. He ran
back and picked up the box and turned to find his dad waiting in the car on the
road. Gohan went up to can and put the
box in the trunk and got into the front seat.
"Well Gohan, who was that?"
Gohan looked out the window as they started to drive. Goku looked at his son and smiled. "Well who is she??" The buildings cleared as they now passed
through the beautiful county side.
"Gohan hello?? Tell me who was
that girl??" Gohan sighed and continued
to look out the window.
"An Angel."
